title: [Detection of self-administration of testosterone as an anabolic by determination of the ratio of urinary testosterone to urinary epitestosterone in adolescents].
abstract: Testing for illicit self-administration of testosterone by athletes requires quantitative analysis by gas chronomatography-mass spectrometry combined with stable isotope dilution. International Sports Authorities have adopted the ratio of urinary excretions of testosterone and epitestosterone for drug testing. This ratio is required to be under 6. The authors studied the statistical distribution of this ratio in teenage athletes and found that the likelihood of false-positive results is 15/10,000.
